Paper/Poster Submission Policies

  1. Submissions must reflect original work or major developments in previously reported work. Papers are NOT eligible if 1. They are published prior to the meeting or accepted for publication before being submitted, or 2. Modified in only secondary respects after presentation or publication.

  3. Extended Abstracts must be sufficiently detailed to allow organizers to judge the merits of the paper. Typically, extended abstracts consist of a statement of research question (and underlying theoretical aspects, if appropriate), the data and research methods, and preliminary findings. They should be able to persuade the organizers that researchers are able to complete the paper before they present their work.
